A new year has begun, so let’s take some time to review what happened for women in business and the gender pay gap during 2013.
As I did in 2012, I went through the research-related articles published on Women on Business during 2013, and selected a collection of articles that provide a great overview of how the business world looked for women throughout the year. Follow the preceding link to see the 2012 stats, and check out the articles below for all of the 2013 stats.
